Blessings in Disguise




Long time no see, Internet.

It has been definitely way too long since I last wrote here.
I have missed you a lot.

Today, I wanted to write about this phrase, "Blessings in Disguise".
It was a topic that came up in my youth class today. During my class, the kids had a strange way of bringing out the topic of Blessings in Disguise.

It got my thinking gears moving.

How often is it that we just do not see any blessings in our lives?
Especially on things that we just endlessly complain about?

"Sun is shining too bright on me today, I couldn't sleep."
"It was too rainy to go out and enjoy the weather."
"I have too many things to do, all I want is rest."



Why can't we say "all I want is God"?
Nope, scratch that.

Why can't we just appreciate that God love us?
Why can't we just be thankful that Jesus Christ showed us the greatest compassion, the greatest sacrifice, and most importantly, the greatest love that no one can replicate?

Whether it is good or bad, it always is a blessing.
It is still within God's plan for us to be built up in our daily walks.





Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
- Proverbs 19:21


Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

- Psalm 73:23-26


His Glory is Beautiful and His promise is everlasting. It is so encouraging just knowinn that He is God and He is there to give us His plan according to His time.




Good or bad, it is all good in Him.
